Mother of Social Dragons

Good morning New York City!

Goodbye Twitter, Hello Threads

just because you rented an airbnb for 3 months does not mean you “lived abroad”

HIBA #TelAviv maybe Israel’s first Michelin Star quality restaurant? Does Celebrity Chef Yossi Shitrit make the cut? #EatWithDot

Why is everyone obsessed with learning how to use CHATGPT instead of just learning HOW TO WRITE?

Can people stop using “purpose driven” branding or “purpose driven” entrepreneurship on thier bios? My god, it’s redundant, just tacky. SHOW DON’T TELL

@bryanwish_ We can agree to disagree that SF is the “best city”. Barcelona is the best city, for me 😂

@dotlung Isn’t it better to take a stand for something when things are more challenging?

It’s amazing to me that San Francisco gets so much bad press. Here’s 3 reasons why it’s the best city in the world. 1) Ground floor of Innovation: where else in the world can you walk into a biotech, climate tech, or AI event and meet the smartest builders in the space? It’s the most fertile land in the world for ideas and incredible thinking. + there’s media here too if you look closely. 2) Nature: Tell me another place you can drive to the beach, mountains, and vineyards within 1-2 hours. 3) Openness: People here are fairly unassuming. They are themselves. Happy to stand in their own shoes and not conform. Divergent thinking is accessible and embraced. I know my friends @morganjingram and @RobbieCrab also love SF for these same reasons.

Instead of improving lives of Iranians, the regime is spending over $1B on its terror proxies (+ Assad). Budget for the current year: Hezbollah - $800M Hamas - $80-100M Islamic Jihad - $20M Militias in Iraq (attacking American forces) - $90M Houthis in Yemen - $100-200M

BREAKING: The Islamic Republic of Iran was today appointed Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum. This year's theme is technology and promotion of human rights; Iran just hanged Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli Zare for using social media to criticize religion.

@emilykschrader 😭

The Islamic Republic of Iran was appointed the Chair of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum, which has the themes of technology and the promotion of human rights this year. No, this isn’t a joke. Shame on the UN. #unhypocrisy #irgcterrorists

@claudioguglieri the “loud” designers aren’t good at design, they are good at social media

Thank you for all the portfolios. It's great to see THE work! I think this is a reminder, for me in this case, to not gravitate to the loud designers, but to the quiet ones with portfolios full of bangers. There are tons of new peeps in the industry today. Besides doers, there are influencers, content creators, podcast hosts & more. Hosting a podcast doesn't always make you a great designer BUT in any case, peeps are creating content and platforms to talk, appreciate & love design. That's worth celebrating. This new reality, IMO, can be confusing for those in need of design or newcomers looking for role models but 🤷‍♂️ it's what it is.

Years ago design portfolios had work. Today there is no work to be found, only: 👋 For $300 book a call with me 🧑‍💻 For $2k a week send me emails 🌎 Join my design community 🍱 See my bento 📄 See my read. cv 🍪 Join my course to become a 50x designer 🎥 Youtube channel with design tricks Please show me the work, I'm trying to hire you.
